Excerpt from Life and Letters of Janet Erskine Stuart: Superior General of the Society of the Sacred Heart 1857 to 1914 IN the ordinary Providence of God each human life, even of those holding high public position in Church or State, exercises but a restricted and usually transient effect on the lives of others. Within a limited circle and for a few brief years the power flowing from such a life is felt. It grows gradually weaker and in the end ceases to be operative. When, therefore, a life clearly transcends the normal average of human influence, it is of great importance to succeeding generations that the lessons which it taught, and continues to teach, should be set forth in as full detail as may be possible. In recent years God manifestly willed that the veil, which habitually shrouds from observation the marvellous supernatural existences of Carmel, should be lifted in the case of the little Sister Therese, to give to the world fresh joy and courage in the knowledge of high sanctity and close union with God, attained by such simple and childlike means. No less, as it seems to me, is it necessary that the passage through this life of Mother Stuart, both in its purely natural and in its supernatural aspects, should be known not only in the religious family of which she became for too short a space the chief authority, but to all who care to follow and study God's dealings with His creatures. It is indeed a very wonderful history. Of Scottish race, the youngest daughter of a clergyman of the Established Church of England, deprived of a mother's care and love in babyhood, losing apparently in. Girlhood any living faith, Janet Stuart was destined to become the Mother General of an institute of world-wide extent; to attain an intensity of religious faith and purpose, and to live a life of intimate union With God, such as have not often been surpassed.
